Contemporary Conflict, lies in the treatment of international
intervention. Their assessments will be informative to most
undergraduate students about the International Committee of the Red
Cross and Red Crescent Movement and other actors and their
conceptions of humanitarianism, neutrality and impartially ... a
useful addition that furthers our understanding of action in
internationalised internal conflicts after the cold war."

"[A] timely book ... insightful [with] direct relevance to both
practitioners and scholars of humanitarian intervention ... Easily
accessible and generally a highly useful source of knowledge for
students of humanitarian intervention, the well-informed conceptual
framework makes it a valuable contribution to the academic field in
general." International Peacekeeping

"The book, which is rich in detail and, at the same time,
manages to explain the realities underlying international
humanitarian intervention, ends with a conclusion which will surely
provide food for thought in the forthcoming years ... the ten
diagrams, twenty five boxes and 'suggested reading' in the
different chapters make it very accessible for students
specializing in these matters, as well as for academics and
practitioners." International Relations
